The opposite of fear is courage. Courage is the ability to face and overcome fear, often by taking action in spite of it.
The absence of fear refers to a state of being without the emotion of fear. This can lead to increased courage, confidence, and a willingness to take risks. It can help individuals to face challenges or uncertainties without being hindered by negative emotions.
First, I think that we should rewrite this quote with better punctuations to make it easier to understand: "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." (Mark Twain) I think that "Courage is resistance to fear" means that it is sort of an antagonist to fear. That's pretty straight forward... Then, "mastery of fear - not absence of fear" probably means that someone with courage will still have fear; it doesn't mean that he won't have or feel any fear, however he will use his courage to "master", control, and/or manage the fear and get passed it.
The quote "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." is not a poem by Mark Twain. It is actually a quote from his novel "Pudd'nhead Wilson."
